Projects in Computational Neuroscience

Projects are available in the mathematical modelling and computer
simulation of aspects of biological nervous systems. Topics range from
studying cellular and subcellular details of single neurons, to the
dynamics of information processing in neural microcircuits, to
developmental aspects of neurons and the networks they form. Tools of
the
trade include the NEURON simulation package, serial and parallel
simulations (72 node cluster available), MATLAB and standard programming
languages such as Java. Specific topics around which projects can be
defined include (but are not limited to):
